Light has gone I’ll never see the sun again My days will be as dark as my nights A question burning in my mind: What is left to do for the observer when he’s blind?
The telescope was my obsession I longed to see the wonders of the sky Moon and sun and Jupiter’s companions The Milky Way in all its splendor, Stars numbered high
I know the key to the book of creation Wandering a dark maze are those who don’t know
All those years in shame and in torture Self denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays
To illustrated all that surrounds us, Unveil the glory of our Maker’s plan This I thought to be my only mission A different picture of the world, A blessing for mankind
I tried to open their hearts and their eyes A trail in Rome swept my good hopes away
All those years in shame and in torture Self denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays
Sight is gone I’ll never see the world again My days will be as dark as my nights A question burning in my mind: What is left to do for me now, old of age and blind?
I tried to open their hearts and their eyes A trail in Rome swept my good hopes away
All those years in shame and in torture Self denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays
